I like the noise reduction component but what about other people around you. Can people around you hear what you are listening to?

When my wife uses them, I can't hear anything she's listening to and she listens to her music on fairly loud settings.

These have noise isolation padding so when you have it at certain volume you can barely hear outside noise. Even on some lower volume or no volume you can tell the difference. I can hear others talking with them on no sound but it's almost as if they are surpresed

They reduce some of the background noise but not all of it. They are best at reducing regular noises like the hum from air conditioning or air-plane noise. I got them to try and reduce noise from people talking in my office but it didn't really help with that.

Yes, you will still someone talking if they are next to you. Noise canceling headphones would be your best solution.

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

If you mean noise around the room, not what you're listening to, then yes. It blocks out quite a bit of sound from around you.

Honestly it depends on how close people are to you, the volume they are speaking at, and the volume you have your music set to. It does block out a good amount though.

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

Hi Mo, since this headset is a dual ear wearing style it will help cancel out most of the background noise. But the headset doesn't cancel out 100% of background noise, so you will still be able to hear some noise around you.

If the volume turns up from 0 to 2 for moderate listening, it won't bother person next to u. Hope that helps.

If you'll listening on low level of volume, then nobody will can hear of your music, but if level of volume will be high, then people around can hear your music.

I have this, and sound wise, it was great for me. If you have other people who are in your group, who are also listening, it might not be as good for them...if they are close to you it'll be ok. I use in the city of Chicago, and it's hard to hear for others when they are across the street...traffic wise...but if they are on the same side of the street, and within 20 feet,they can hear just fine.

Depends on the song. But they also keep you from hearing outside noises or people talking, so your able to enjoy you music better

I got two bose headsets which are great, the grado is for sound even more better, but you can only use them when you are alone in the room. They are open and your bystanders will not enjoy your music as you do :-) Thats the only reason i bought bose a d for the noise reduction whilst traveling ..... sorry they are the only grado i have ....

It MAY depend on volume? I hook mine up to my phone with spotify and have it for background music while I cruise, but I can hear if people are coming up behind me, which I want. I have never had mine loud enough to block out surrounding sound. I can hear both with my volume less than half. If you don't want to hear other people around you (which I don't recommend) then use ear buds.

No, I don't think that other people can hear these earphones under normal conditions. One of their advantages is being able to play quietly. If you listen with only one, the sound is not adequate. You need one in each ear to hear properly. The in-ear design reduces ambient sound, and makes possible comfortable low volume listening.

Great question. When I use it background noise is virtually gone. Unless you have the radio or tv turned all the up they are good. Also if there are people in the background taking you don't hear them either. I hope this is helpful.
